[QUOTE="MyLittlePony, post: 1469590, member: 11359"] I painted my convertible trim (pieces that run along the rear windows and trunk lid). I had previous used armor all and other products on it for years. I can’t remember how well I prepped it. Sanding, soap, etc. Wasn’t very good IMO, but painting it helped. Finish wasnt perfect but it was black, so who cares. Over time, it too, turned grey. Lasted a year though parked outside. And while it didn’t ever chip off, I think the factory coating cracked under it, as they were metal pieces that were coated in some sort of black material. typically look awful. I’ve seen people paint an accent color, which is always terrible. Body color, just looks like overkill. Same goes with painted mirrors. [/QUOTE]
